Mr.
Speaker, the
community of Fort Providence combined alliance prepared the initial proposal to build the Deh Cho Bridge. The Deh Cho Bridge Corporation put together a professional team to develop this project. They delivered this project in terms of meeting some of the navigable waters requirements by Transport Canada. There’s been consultation and meetings in the communities. There’s been the impact review process and the environmental impacts. It also examined the culture and social impacts of this bridge.
The Deh Cho Bridge Corporation lined up the financial backers of this project, and the corporation is working very closely with the department in terms
of putting this project into reality, to have this bridge be a go for the community.
